But there could only be one winner and this year’s award goes to Harry’s Bar.

Tucked away off Westgate, in the city centre, its victory should perhaps come as no surprise after having taken several coveted awards, including the Campaign For Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Pub of the Year in 2014 and Pub of the Season titles.

The pub, which has been open for more than a decade, has become a mecca for beer fans with a huge selection of locally-brewed beers.

She said: “It was unexpected but we are really happy to have won. It’s the real ale that attracts people here and we get a lovely clientèle here. It’s just a really lovely place to be, we have some great regulars and we support local breweries.”

The Fox and Hounds in Newmillerdam were the runners up.

While the Barnsley Road pub has become popular with diners and drinkers alike, manager Mandy Wilkinson insists listening to the customers has been the secret to their success.

The pub even stages it’s own pantomimes, turning the usually-busy bar into a makeshift theatre to rasie money for charity.
